Lan Shuang hadn't expected Xin Wujiang's hearing to be so good! She had only turned around, and he had heard her?
She wanted to leave quickly, as she really couldn't explain herself right now.
But Xin Wujiang was faster than her. As Lan Shuang took a step, a black shadow flashed before her eyes. The next moment, Xin Wujiang opened his five fingers and grabbed her neck.
Lan Shuang's eyes flashed, and she immediately leaned back to avoid the attack. The shawl flew through the air, bringing with it a faint fragrant breeze.
Xin Wujiang narrowed his eyes slightly, retracted his hand and kicked out, sweeping straight towards Lan Shuang's lower body.
Lan Shuang supported herself on the ground with her hands and dodged nimbly with a backward flip, but the jade hairpin on her head fell down.
With a "ding" sound, the fine jade broke into two pieces.
Before Lan Shuang could stand up, Xin Wujiang had already flashed in front of her, grabbed her throat tightly with his big hands, and pressed her against the rockery wall behind her.
Lan Shuang had difficulty breathing and couldn't help but grab his wrist: "Cough cough cough——"
Seeing her cheeks flushed and tears in her eyes, Xin Wujiang opened his tightly pursed lips slightly and asked in a low voice, "How much did you hear?"
Lan Shuang raised her eyes and looked at him. "I didn't... I didn't hear anything. I just walked in here unintentionally..."
Xin Wujiang obviously didn't believe it, his expression was cold: "Really?"
Lan Shuang was helpless. Seeing that the Fifth Prince was coming over, Lan Shuang thought for a moment, and suddenly grabbed Xin Wujiang's wrist and pulled him towards her.
Xin Wujiang was stunned for a moment, then he was on guard and wanted to fight back, but Lan Shuang pecked him on the side of the cheek and said, "General, I'll bribe you to let me go."
Xin Wujiang was caught off guard by her move and had no time to react. Lan Shuang took advantage of his moment of distraction to break free from his shackles and ran away with her skirt lifted up.
Xin Wujiang: “…”
He stood there for a long time. For the first time, confusion appeared in the eyes of the decisive and ruthless young general. A breeze blew by, and a leaf slowly fell on his shoulder.
He raised his hand to brush it away, then paused, and finally couldn't help but touch the place where he had been "attacked" just now.
"Wujiang! Who is it?"
The fifth prince walked towards this side cautiously, and only stood out after seeing that there was no one around Xin Wujiang.
Xin Wujiang came back to his senses when he heard his voice. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly stood on the hairpin that Lan Shuang had dropped. He didn't step on it completely, but just tiptoed. The Fifth Prince was too nervous and didn't notice his abnormality at all.
"No one, just a cat, maybe it's raised by the prince or a servant in the mansion."
Xin Wujiang lied without changing his expression.
The fifth prince was skeptical: "Really?"
Xin Wujiang looked at him indifferently. After a moment, the Fifth Prince smiled helplessly, "That's right. You never bother to lie. You don't even bother to say a few nice words of flattery."
"I told you to think about it again. I'm not forcing you to choose a side. I'm just giving you a choice. The final decision is up to you. Of course, even if you don't side with me, if I ascend the throne in the future, I will treat you the same as before."
The Fifth Prince looked at the falling leaves and sighed, "Good generals are hard to find, let alone one with a sincere heart."
He turned around and smiled faintly: "I don't want the general to be defeated, I just hope that the border will be peaceful."
At this moment, Xin Wujiang saw enthusiasm and sincerity in his eyes.
No matter what the future holds, at least the Fifth Prince at this moment did move him for a moment.
"I'll consider it." Xin Wujiang was silent for a moment and finally took a step back.
The Fifth Prince looked at him in surprise, then smiled slowly: "Okay, then I'll go first."
Xin Wujiang watched him walk away, and when his figure disappeared outside the garden, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After standing on one foot for a long time, even though he was a little tired, he moved the sole of his shoe away and saw the broken jade hairpin lying quietly on the ground.
Xin Wujiang frowned slightly, "This is..."
He bent down and carefully picked up the hairpin. It was very plain, without any complicated decorations, except for a peach blossom carved on it. The hairpin was warm and smooth, with excellent water content. It was obviously made of the finest mutton-fat jade.
Thinking of the man's nimble movements when he flipped backwards, Xin Wujiang narrowed his eyes, "His waist strength is quite good."
Thinking of Lan Shuang, his mind couldn't help but recall the time when she secretly kissed him just now.
“Tsk.”
He stood up in a state of annoyance and wanted to find a place to throw the hairpin away, but he couldn't find a good place after walking for a long time. Maybe he didn't want to throw it away, but he didn't know.
Finally, he stuffed the hairpin into his sleeve pocket with a frustrated look, thinking as if nothing had happened that he still had to find a chance to talk to her and return the hairpin to her.
…
After leaving, Lan Shuang ran to the lakeside and looked at her appearance in the water. Her hair was a little messy and one of her hairpins was missing.
She touched her neck. Her skin was delicate and fair, and it was easy for marks to be left on it. Xin Wujiang had used a little too much force just now, and now it was all red.
How am I going to explain this when I get back?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see the clues, right?
"My boyfriend in this life is a little naughty." Lan Shuang said to 888 while fixing her hair.
888: "Yeah, I even pinched you, that was a bit too much."
"But I can understand it. After all, I was just a stranger to him. After hearing such crucial words, it was only natural for him to have murderous intentions towards me. But he still showed mercy and didn't kill me. Otherwise, I would have been almost dead by now."
Lan Shuang adjusted her collar, which seemed to be mostly fine. She opened the system store and asked, "Is there any ointment to remove the marks? The kind that works immediately?"
888 thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, it seems like it is. It should be on the last page. Most people don't use it, so its sales are low, so it's placed at the end."
Lan Shuang was surprised: "Really? Your system is really omnipotent."
"Of course! We strive to provide the best service to our host!"
888 patted his chest proudly.
Lan Shuang flipped to the last page and saw a tube of green translucent ointment. "...Miracle Scar Removal Cream? That's a pretty interesting name."
She took a look at the price and saw that it was only ten points, so she redeemed it without hesitation.
A manual was given randomly.
Lan Shuang took a curious look and was instantly shocked by the slogan.
"Are you still worried about the scars all over your body after indulging yourself and not being able to see others? Are you still ashamed to talk about the scars all over your body and feel inferior? Are you still uncomfortable with the itchiness all over your body from mosquito bites? Are you still depressed because of overuse in the field of sex?"
"Don't worry! We'll solve your problems together! This miracle scar cream is more than just effective! It's a refreshing treat, relieving summer heat and reducing redness and swelling. It's a must-have for home and travel. What are you waiting for? Grab it now!"
After reading it, Lan Shuang fell silent: "..."
888: “…”
I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
After a while, Lan Shuang pursed her lips and said, "It really has all the functions."
